Srimad Bhagavat Gita commentary chapter 12 verse 2

 Chapter 12 verse 2 

“The Blessed Lord said: Those who fix their minds on Me and always engage in My devotion with steadfast faith, I consider them to be the best yogis.” 

What is a human being designed to do easily? Perceive things which they can process through the 5 senses they have been given. The innate ability of the human being is to live their lives deepy engaged in the world of perception, feelings and thoughts. It is more difficult to process and imagine the formless and unseen. Therefore Bhagwan Krishna in his infinite compassion and wisdom, states that the best yogi (human being who unites the body, mind, intellect towards understanding one’s own self) is the one who fixes their minds on Him and surrenders all their activities, thoughts and feelings to Him. It is great advise which can be followed by multitudes of humans. It is however not the only way to attain enlightenment or ultimate goal of human kind. This will be revealed in further slokas.
